Eligibility of Chile To Export Poultry 

and Poultry Products to the United 

States 

AGENCY: Food Safety and Inspection 

Service, USDA. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Food Safety and 

Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing 

to add Chile to the list of countries 

eligible to export poultry and poultry 

products to the United States. Reviews 

by FSIS of Chile’s laws, regulations, and 

inspection implementation show that its 

poultry inspection system requirements 

are equivalent to the relevant provisions 

of the Poultry Products Inspection Act 

(PPIA) and its implementing 

regulations. 

Under this proposal, poultry and 

poultry products processed in certified 

Chilean establishments may be exported 

to the United States. All such products 

will be subject to re-inspection at 

United States ports-of-entry by FSIS 

inspectors. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before April 27, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The Food Safety and Inspection 

Service (FSIS) is proposing to amend its 

poultry products inspection regulations 

to add Chile to the list of countries 

eligible to export poultry and poultry 

products to the United States (9 CFR 

381.196). Chile is not currently listed as 

eligible to export such products to the 

United States. 

Statutory Basis for Proposed Action 

Section 17 of the PPIA (21 U.S.C. 466) 

prohibits importation into the United 

States of slaughtered poultry, or parts or 

products thereof, of any kind unless 

they are healthful, wholesome, fit for 

human food, not adulterated, and 

contain no dye, chemical, preservative, 

or ingredient that renders them 

unhealthful, unwholesome, adulterated, 

or unfit for human food. Under the PPIA 

and the regulations that implement it, 

poultry products imported into the 

United States must be produced under 

standards for safety, wholesomeness, 

and labeling accuracy that are 

equivalent to those of the United States. 

Section 381.196 of Title 9 of the CFR 

sets out the procedures by which foreign 

countries wanting to export poultry and 

poultry products to the United States 

may become eligible to do so. 

Section 381.196(a) provides that a 

foreign country’s poultry inspection 

system must include standards 

equivalent to those of the United States, 

and that the legal authority for the 

inspection system and its implementing 

regulations must also be equivalent to 

those of the United States. Specifically, 

a country’s regulations must impose 

requirements equivalent to those of the 

United States with respect to: (1) Antemortem and post-mortem inspection; (2) 

official controls by the national 

government over plant construction, 

facilities, and equipment; (3) direct and 

continuous supervision of slaughter 

activities, where applicable, and 

product preparation by official 

inspection personnel; (4) separation of 

establishments certified to export from 

those not certified; (5) maintenance of a 

single standard of inspection and 

sanitation throughout certified 

establishments; and (6) official controls 

over condemned product. 

The foreign country’s inspection 

system must ensure that establishments 

preparing poultry or poultry products 

for export to the United States, and their 

products, comply with requirements 

equivalent to those of the PPIA and the 

regulations promulgated by FSIS under 

the authority of that statute. The foreign 

country certifies the appropriate 

establishments as having met the 

required standards. The country must 

satisfy FSIS that the certifications it 

issues are reliable before FSIS will grant 

approval to the country to export 

poultry or poultry products to the 

United States (9 CFR 381.196). To assess 

the reliability of the foreign country’s 

certifications, FSIS evaluates the 

country’s inspection system and 

performs ongoing reviews of that 

system. To ensure that products 

imported into the United States are safe, 

wholesome, and properly labeled and 

packaged, FSIS randomly re-inspects 

and samples those products before they 

enter the United States. 

In addition to meeting the 

certification requirements, a foreign 

country’s inspection system must be 

evaluated by FSIS before eligibility to 

export poultry or poultry products to 


hsrobinson on PROD1PC76 with PROPOSALS
8294 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 37 / Monday, February 26, 2007 / Proposed Rules 

the United States can be granted. This 

evaluation consists of two processes: a 

document review and an on-site review. 

The document review is an evaluation 

of the laws, regulations, and other 

written materials used by the country to 

effect its inspection program. To help 

the country in organizing its material, 

FSIS gives the country questionnaires 

asking for detailed information about 

the country’s inspection practices and 

procedures in five risk areas. These five 

risk areas, which are the focus of the 

evaluation, are sanitation, animal 

disease, slaughter/processing, residues, 

and enforcement. FSIS evaluates the 

information to verify that the critical 

points in the five risk areas are 

addressed satisfactorily with respect to 

standards, activities, resources, and 

enforcement. If the document review is 

satisfactory, an on-site review is 

scheduled using a multi-disciplinary 

team to evaluate all aspects of the 

country’s inspection program, including 

laboratories and individual 

establishments within the country. The 

process of determining equivalence is 

described fully on the FSIS Web site at 

http://www.fsis.usda.gov/ 

regulations_&_policies/ 

equivalence_process/index.asp. 

The PPIA and the regulations that 

implement it require that foreign 

countries be listed as eligible in the 

Code of Federal Regulations. FSIS must 

do rulemaking to list a country as 

eligible. Countries found eligible to 

export poultry or poultry products into 

the United States are listed in the 

poultry inspection regulations at 9 CFR 

381.196(b). Once listed, it is the 

responsibility of the eligible country to 

certify that establishments meet the 

requirements to export poultry or 

poultry products to the United States, 

and to ensure that products from these 

establishments are safe, wholesome, and 

not misbranded. 

Evaluation of the Chilean Inspection 

System for Poultry and Poultry Products 

In response to a request from Chile for 

approval to export poultry and poultry 

products to the United States, FSIS 

conducted a review of Chile’s poultry 

slaughter inspection system to 

determine whether it is equivalent to 

the U.S. poultry inspection system. 

First, FSIS compared Chile’s poultry 

inspection laws and regulations with 

U.S. requirements. The Agency 

concluded that the requirements 

contained in Chile’s poultry slaughter 

inspection laws and regulations are 

equivalent to the PPIA and to the 

regulations that FSIS has adopted under 

the PPIA to effect that statute. FSIS then 

conducted two on-site reviews of Chile’s 

poultry slaughter inspection system in 

operation. The FSIS review team 

concluded that, as implemented, Chile’s 

poultry slaughter standards and 

procedures are equivalent to those of the 

United States. The full report on Chile’s 

poultry slaughter inspection system can 

be found on the FSIS Web site at http:// 

www.fsis.usda.gov/regulations/ 

foreign_audit_reports/index.asp. 

As a country eligible to export poultry 

and poultry products to the United 

States, the government of Chile must 

certify to FSIS those establishments that 

wish to export such products to the 

United States and that operate in 

accordance with these requirements. 

FSIS will retain the right to verify that 

the establishments certified by Chile’s 

government are meeting the U.S. 

requirements. This verification will be 

done through annual reviews of the 

establishments while they are in 

operation. 

Although a foreign country may be 

listed as eligible to export poultry to the 

United States, the exporting country’s 

products must also comply with all 

applicable U.S. requirements. These 

requirements include restrictions under 

9 CFR part 94 of the United States 

Department of Agriculture’s Animal and 

Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) 

regulations, which also regulate the 

exportation of meat or poultry products 

from foreign countries to the United 

States. 

If this proposed rule is adopted, any 

poultry and poultry products exported 

to the United States from Chile will be 

subject to re-inspection at the ports-ofentry for transportation damage, 

labeling, proper certification, general 

condition, and accurate count. FSIS will 

also conduct other types of inspection, 

including examination of products for 

defects and sampling and laboratory 

analysis of products for chemical 

residues or for microbiological 

contamination. Products that pass reinspection will be stamped with the 

official United States mark of inspection 

and allowed to enter U.S. commerce. If 

they do not meet U.S. requirements, 

they will be refused entry and must be 

re-exported, destroyed, or converted to 

animal food. 

Executive Order 12866 and Regulatory 

Flexibility Act 

This proposed rule has been reviewed 

under Executive Order 12866 by the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) and has been determined to be 

not significant for purposes of E.O. 

12866. The proposed rulemaking would 

add Chile to the list of countries eligible 

to export poultry and poultry products 

to the United States. 

Economic Impact Analysis 

This rule was designated as nonsignificant. It is expected that 

approximately five establishments in 

Chile will be exporting poultry and 

poultry products to the U.S. Chile 

expects to export raw young chicken 

breast (de-boned) products, starting in 

2007 with 5,000 Metric Tons (MT) and 

reaching an estimated 12,000 MT in 

2010. These estimates are based on 

Chile’s actual and future production 

capacity and its decision to maintain an 

increasing presence in the export 

market. For comparison, FSIS estimated, 

based on data from the USDA 

Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) 

and the National Agricultural Statistics 

Service (NASS), that in 2005 the U.S. 

produced about 1,444,000 MT of raw 

young chicken breast (deboned) 

products. Chile’s estimated initial 

exports to the U.S. in 2007 should 

represent about three-tenths of one 

percent (5,000 MT/1,444,000 MT) of the 

U.S. domestic production of raw young 

chicken breast (deboned) products, in 

2005. Further, if Chile’s exports to the 

U.S. reach, in 2010, the estimate of 

12,000 MT of raw young chicken breast 

(deboned) products, these imports will 

represent about eight-tenths of one 

percent (12,000 MT/1,444,000 MT) of 

the U.S. domestic production of raw 

young chicken breast (deboned) 

products in 2005. 

The impact of this proposed rule on 

U.S. consumers is voluntary in that 

consumers will not be required to 

purchase poultry or poultry products 

produced and processed in Chile. 

Expected benefits from this type of 

proposed rule would accrue primarily to 

consumers in the form of lower prices. 

The small volume of trade stimulated by 

this proposed rule, however, will likely 

have little effect on supply and prices. 

Consumers, apart from any change in 

prices, would benefit in principle from 

increased choices at competitive price 

points in the marketplace. 

The costs of this rule will accrue 

primarily to U.S. producers in the form 

of greater competition from Chile. 

Again, it must be noted that the volume 

of trade stimulated by this rule would 

be very small, likely having little 

discernible effect on supply and prices. 

General benefits would include 

increased trade with Chile and the 

availability to U.S. consumers of a 

greater quantity of poultry and poultry 

products. Both nations would benefit 

from an expansion of trade in poultry 

and poultry products as part of a wide 

range of commodities. 

Constraints on the expansion of trade 

in poultry and poultry products 


hsrobinson on PROD1PC76 with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 37 / Monday, February 26, 2007 / Proposed Rules 8295 

between the United States and Chile are 

expected to occur mainly in the form of 

restrictions imposed under U.S. animal 

health laws. APHIS has agreed to supply 

FSIS with evaluations and current 

updates of the animal disease status of 

regions in Chile where establishments 

likely to export poultry and poultry 

product to the United States are located. 

The additional poultry and poultry 

product shipments are likely to have 

only a slight effect on the Agency’s 

assignment of import inspection 

resources at points of entry on the East 

and West coasts. It is unlikely, on the 

basis of current information, that any 

additional import inspection personnel 

would need to be hired. 

Estimates of benefits and costs of 

increased trade in poultry and poultry 

products with Chile are based on data 

supplied by the FSIS Office of 

International Affairs and Office of Field 

Operations; Foreign Agricultural Service 

(FAS) databases and trade reports; 

Economic Research Service (ERS) 

databases, reports, and analyses; 

Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) 

databases, reports, and analyses; 

National Agricultural Statistics Service 

(NASS) databases, reports, and analyses; 

and Census Bureau databases and 

reports. Standard economic analytical 

techniques were used in estimating 

effects of the proposed rulemakings. 

The major source of uncertainty in 

estimating the effects of this proposed 

rule is in forecasting the number of 

establishments likely to be certified by 

Chile to export poultry and poultry 

products to the United States. Other, 

less important, sources of uncertainty 

include imprecision in the economic 

data consulted, e.g., estimates of 

demand and supply elasticities and 

probable errors in multi-year forecasts of 

prices for the poultry and poultry 

product commodities that would be 

regulated under the proposed rule. 

Effect on Small Entities 

The FSIS Administrator has made an 

initial determination that this proposed 

rule will not have a significant impact 

on a substantial number of small 

entities, as defined by the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601). This 

proposed rule would add Chile to the 

list of countries eligible to export 

poultry and poultry products to the 

United States. The volume of trade 

stimulated by this rule would be very 

small and would have minimal effect on 

poultry and poultry products supplies 

and prices. Therefore, this proposed 

rule is not expected to have a significant 

impact on small entities that produce 

these types of poultry and poultry 

products domestically. 

Executive Order 12988 

This proposed rule has been reviewed 

under Executive Order 12988, Civil 

Justice Reform. If this proposed rule is 

adopted: 

(1) all State and local laws and 

regulations that are inconsistent with 

this rule will be preempted; 

(2) no retroactive effect will be given 

to this rule; and 

(3) administrative proceedings will 

not be required before parties may file 

suit in court challenging this rule. 

Paperwork Requirements 

No new paperwork requirements are 

associated with this proposed rule. 

Foreign countries wanting to export 

poultry and poultry products to the 

United States are required to provide 

information to FSIS certifying that their 

inspection systems effect standards 

equivalent to those of the United States, 

and that the legal authority for the 

systems and their implementing 

regulations are equivalent to those of the 

United States. FSIS collects this 

information one time only. FSIS gave 

Chile questionnaires asking for detailed 

information about the country’s 

inspection practices and procedures to 

assist that country in organizing its 

materials. This information collection 

was approved under OMB number 

0583–0094. The proposed rule contains 

no other paperwork requirements. 

Government Paperwork Elimination Act 

(GPEA) 

FSIS is committed to compliance with 

the GPEA, which requires Government 

agencies, in general, to provide the 

public the option of communicating 

electronically with the government to 

the maximum extent possible. The 

Agency will ensure that all forms used 

by the establishments are made 

available electronically. 

Additional Public Notification 

Public awareness of all segments of 

rulemaking and policy development is 

important. Consequently, in an effort to 

ensure that the public and in particular 

minorities, women, and persons with 

disabilities, are aware of this proposed 

rule, FSIS will announce it on-line 

through the FSIS Web page located at 

http://www.fsis.usda.gov/ 

regulations_&_policies/ 

2006_Proposed_Rules_Index/index.asp. 

The Regulations.gov Web site is the 

central online rulemaking portal of the 

United States government. It is being 

offered as a public service to increase 

participation in the Federal 

government’s regulatory activities. FSIS 

participates in Regulations.gov and will 

accept comments on documents 

published on the site. The site allows 

visitors to search by keyword or 

Department or Agency for rulemakings 

that allow for public comment. Each 

entry provides a quick link to a 

comment form so that visitors can type 

in their comments and submit them to 

FSIS. The Web site is located at 

http://www.regulations.gov/. 

FSIS also will make copies of this 

Federal Register publication available 

through the FSIS Constituent Update, 

which is used to provide information 

regarding FSIS policies, procedures, 

regulations, Federal Register notices, 

public meetings, recalls, and other types 

of information that could affect or 

would be of interest to our constituents 

and stakeholders. The update is 

communicated via Listserv, a free e-mail 

subscription service consisting of 

industry, trade, and farm groups, 

consumer interest groups, allied health 

professionals, scientific professionals, 

and other individuals who have 

requested to be included. The update 

also is available on the FSIS Web page. 

Through Listserv and the Web page, 

FSIS is able to provide information to a 

much broader, more diverse audience. 

In addition, FSIS offers an e-mail 

subscription service that provides an 

automatic and customized notification 

when popular pages are updated, 

including Federal Register publications 

and related documents. This service is 

available at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/ 

news_and_events/email_subscription/ 

and allows FSIS customers to sign up 

for subscription options across eight 

categories. Options range from recalls to 

export information to regulations, 

directives and notices. Customers can 

add or delete subscriptions themselves 

and have the option to password protect 

their account.

Background 

On June 4, 2002, Dassault Aviation, 9 

rond Point des Champs Elysees, 75008, 

Paris, France, applied for FAA type 

certificate for its new Model Falcon 7X 

airplane. The Dassault Model Falcon 7X 

airplane is a 19 passenger transport 

category airplane powered by three aft 

mounted Pratt & Whitney PW307A high 

bypass ratio turbofan engines. 

Maximum takeoff weight will be 63,700 

pounds, and maximum certified altitude 

will be 51,000 feet with a range of 5,700 

nautical miles. The airplane is operated 

using a fly-by-wire (FBW) primary flight 

control system. This will be the first 

application of a FBW primary flight 

control system in an airplane primarily 

intended for private/corporate use. 

The Dassault Aviation Model Falcon 

7X design incorporates equipment that 

was not envisioned when part 25 was 

created. This equipment includes side 

stick controllers, and an electronic flight 

control system that provides flight 

envelope protection. Therefore, special 

conditions are required that provide the 

level of safety equivalent to that 

established by the regulations. 

Type Certification Basis 

Under the provisions of 14 CFR 21.17, 

Dassault Aviation must show that the 

Model Falcon 7X airplane meets the 

applicable provisions of 14 CFR part 25, 

as amended by Amendments 25–1 

through 25–108. 

If the Administrator finds that the 

applicable airworthiness regulations do 

not contain adequate or appropriate 

safety standards for the Model Falcon 

7X airplane because of novel or unusual 

design features, special conditions are 

prescribed under the provisions of 

§ 21.16. 

In addition to the applicable 

airworthiness regulations and special 

conditions, the Dassault Model Falcon 

7X airplane must comply with the fuel 

vent and exhaust emission requirements 

of 14 CFR part 34 and the noise 

certification requirements of 14 CFR 

part 36. In addition, the FAA must issue 

a finding of regulatory adequacy under 

§ 611 of Public Law 93–574, the ‘‘Noise 

Control Act of 1972.’’

The FAA issues special conditions, as 

defined in § 11.19, under § 11.38, and 

they become part of the type 

certification basis under § 21.17(a)(2). 

Special conditions are initially 

applicable to the model for which they 

are issued. Should the type certificate 

for that model be amended later to 

include any other model that 

incorporates the same novel or unusual 

design feature, the special conditions 

would also apply to the other model 

under § 21.101. 

Novel or Unusual Design Features 

The Dassault Falcon 7X airplane will 

incorporate the following novel or 

unusual design features: 

• Side stick controllers; 

• Electronic flight control system: 

lateral-directional and longitudinal 

stability, low energy awareness,
